Designed
specifically for classrooms, the Canadian Space Agency's 3D education resources
have been developed on an interactive platform that simulates the experience of
flying on a Soyuz spacecraft and living and working on a space station.

Reaching
approximately 1 million elementary students this year, Planting the Seed
simulates the experience of working on the International Space Station with the
guidance of a virtual astronaut, Chris Hadfield. Students learn about the role
of plants in biological life support systems by creating a virtual living wall
inside the ISS.Project Whitecard Inc. worked alongside the CSA and Chris Hadfield to render
authentic 3D environments as well as inspired learning programming and dialogue
in both English and French that give players a real feeling of working and
learning on the Space Station.
